Yesterday was packed with a lot of signs but today is gloomy and I’m having some trouble believing that things will see themselves through. Also fearing that I’ll remain in this rut forever. I need that change. I decided to light my wish candle and pick one card at random just to see what this feeling of unexplainable doubt I’m feeling today is all about. I got the three of swords from the Paulina Cassidy Joie de Vivre Tarot deck.

Keywords are REPAIR, CONFLICT, DISAPPOINTMENT, CLARITY, FOCUS. 

The interpretation reads “Embracing a heart punctured by three swords, it’s time for gloomy chagrin to rest so that he can restore his energy. chagrin finds comfort in focusing on the beauty of the candlelight. Through sorrow’s shadow comes release and the only way out is through. Better actions that replace old ones could not occur without the transformation pain brings. Moving toward the light at the end of the tunnel you begin the process of healing.” 

I am personally interpreting this as I need to just take this gloomy day today to focus on the candlelight and the beauty that’s already in my life, and just gave gratitude. I also need to refocus my energy….hopefully soon, maybe even after tomorrow, things will just fall into place…not just for me but for everyone important in my life who remains frustrated and stuck. We all effect each other.

​The message here is, when you feel in lack, it is time to practice GRATITUDE!

Today’s Tarot Spread For Thursday, August 20, 2015

Hello Lovelies and I hope you’re having a marvelous day in the sunshine!

Our Tarot Spread for today comes with many blockages and frustration as all 3 cards I have pulled are in the reversed position. They are also all court cards so this can represent that many little issues involving many different energies or actual people who are pulling you in various directions, enhancing your frustration even further. This spread is heavy in the suit of Wands, which is all about passion, your motivation and drive, so your frustration with being pulled in many different directions, may very well be affecting your ability to focus and keep yourself motivated and press forward with your personal goals.

The first card I pulled is the Queen of Wands Reversed. In an upright position, it is a very nurturing figure, who takes great pleasure in sprinkling their magic into her ventures and watching them slowly grow. This process proves to be extremely rewarding, but beware in its reversed position, not to try to manipulate a situation to complete the process much faster or make things rule in your favor against nature’s wishes. Things take time, and you need to be patient. Trying to manipulate a situation to your advantage will only come back to bite you in the long run. Take your time, TRUST THE PROCESS. Nurture your project slowly. It’s all about the SLOW BURN… Avoid the BURNOUT!

Our next card is King of Wands Reversed. The King of Wands in this position can represent someone who is extremely pushy and impulsive. Beware of other people pressuring you to make important decisions that you are not yet ready to at this time. Again, take your time, weigh your options and decide what the right direction is FOR YOU! The King of wands in upright can be a very courageous and take charge type of leader, but beware of him in the reversed position, as he can very well abuse that power and take advantage of those more vulnerable. This can also represent you… be weary of pressuring others to jump on your bandwagon. If the many different people or energies are creating a blockage for you because it is not in their best interest to make a decision at this time, then maybe you need to go it alone! Be that fearless take charge King of Wands that you are! No one else will be as passionate about your project or life purpose as you.

Our last card is our Nine of Cups Reversed. Cups are associated with the element of water, which rules our emotions and the way we feel about a certain situation. She is normally a very loved and respected figure, abundant in friendships and relationships, but beware of the reversed 9 of cups. Be careful not to burn any bridges at this time, with your anxiousness to make things happen that are beyond yours or anyone else’s control. Don’t be too pushy in your efforts, or you will lose relationships with business partners or even friends who can no longer put up with your ego and self-centered nature. Try to remain fair to all who are around you and if things really aren’t working out with them, then again, maybe it is best to part ways.

You can’t force anyone to join you for the ride. I think the lesson of this spread is TRUST THE PROCESS. Take your time, nurture your project. And if your ideas are not aligning with others, maybe you should venture off on your own. Don’t try to force chemistry with your relationships. No one likes a Pushy Patsy!

Blessings,

Hello Lovelies and Welcome to Today’s Tarot of the Day Spread for August 19, 2015.

This is a very positive and lovely spread and extremely encouraging for those of you who feel like you are not sure if you are on the right path or not. This spread is assuring us that we are! Let’s take a look at the card for specifics.

I pulled The Hermit, Ace of Wands, and King of Swords. The first thing I am noticing about this spread is that there are no reversed cards, so right now is a very positive and open time for you. Maybe you feel like you’ve made somewhat of a breakthrough as to deciding if a certain path for you is the right one to follow. The court cards here (wands and swords) are indications that there is a LOT of passion, focus and drive as well as logic, for whatever it is you are setting out to accomplish right now. This spread encourages us to keep following those intuitive feelings and spiritual guidance.

The first card I pulled is The Hermit. The figure we see here is following their guiding light through the dark. Maybe you have been extremely confused as to what you should be doing, for quite some time now, but this is a sign that you need to keep following that inner voice, that guiding light deep inside you that has been (consciously or even subconsciously) bringing you closer to your bliss. The hermit is a figure that represents solitude. When you can quiet all the noise, and focus on that inner voice, that is when you will be able to find your enlightenment.
The next card is the Ace of Wands which is a very BOLD card! It represents passion, the fire within you. The figure in this card is charging toward her desires on that back of a wild and courageous lion. She suggests that now is the time for you to take your initiative, come into your power, and charge at whatever it is you want to accomplish, full speed ahead. Be FEARLESS. Be BOLD. Be COURAGEOUS. This card also represents intuition and creativity. Use those gifts of yours to fuel your desires.

Our last card is the King of Swords. He is a very confident and courageous figure who stands tall with his sword. Swords is air, it represents wisdom and logic, which is a very nice balance to have along with your intuitive suit of wands card. Both your intellect and your intuition combined is a super powerful resource and weapon to have, and you should take advantage of that. It will be your calling card!

You should use this proverbial sword in your own life to cut away things that are no longer working for you, and make the space for new ventures that excite you and nurture your need for knowledge and growth. Right now is an excellent time to seek out a mentor for guidance, or pick the brain of someone much older and wiser than you, who has been through much more of life experiences. Don’t be stubborn to your old ways, open your mind and take their suggestions. Trying new things promotes personal growth and is excellent for your own personal well being.
This encouraging card combination is surely a recipe for SUCCESS! Just remember to keep following  your guiding light, charge toward your dreams fearlessly, and take the advice of your elders. You will surely be on your way to your bliss!

Did this spread ring true to your own personal experiences? Definitely feel free to share! I’d love to hear about them!

Today’s Tarot Spread for You Guys: Tuesday, August 18, 2015

The cards I pulled are The Emperor, the 6 of Cups Reversed, and the Queen of Wands Reversed. The first thing I am acknowledging is that there are more minor arcana cards in this spread, as well as more reversed cards than upright. This could signify that there are many small things that have all added up, to create blockages for you in achieving your goals. The Emperor on his own symbolizes a confident and authoritative figure who is very in control of his/her life. He is a very masculine energy that thrives off of structure and it is this connection with discipline that will bring you closer to putting forth the action to achieve your goals. The emperor has no time for procrastination.

However, your next card is a 6 of Cups Reversed. Cups is ruled by the element of water which plays on our emotions, and the 6 of cups reversed signifies that you are stuck in a daydream state that is making it a bit hard to accomplish said goals. You might be caught up in little details about things that USED to work that no longer do, and you may very well suffer from analysis paralysis. You lack the ability to update your actions to suit what would work best for you now.
The last card is the Queen of Wands Reversed, which in the upright position would be a very nurturing card. It’s a very feminine energy who doesn’t mind giving things a little extra focus and attention aka TLC, in order to ensure growth, success, and happiness. However, in its reversed position it signifies an inability to see things through, or making a hasty decision just to try to manipulate the situation to your own advantage, not taking others into account. Wands is synonymous with the element of fire, which symbolizes passion and motivation. In the reverse position here, it signifies that you lack the motivation and passion that it takes to come into your authoritative power of The Emperor.
​
Maybe it is time for you to stop over thinking so much, take a break from the project you can no longer focus on with a clear head, or even switch directions completely. It seems as though I have been pulling a lot of reversed cards lately, which all seem to be signifying blockages, and that could very well be the result of the Venus Retrograde. It might be best to put off starting any new projects at this time. Use the rest of this month to contemplate and carefully formulate your next plan of action.

So here is today’s daily tarot spread for you guys, Monday August 17, 2015.

The cards I pulled were The Hanged Man, the Queen of Wands Reversed, and the Three of Cups.
Let’s start with the Hanged Man. He represents that right now you are in a very contemplative state of mind. You are kind of in a waiting period at this time, where very little action can be done. Right now is a good time to do research and be that sponge that takes in all of your information before you go forth and take action. This will enable you when the time comes, to be able to make a more educated decision, a decision from a more practical place, as opposed to that hasty one that you might later on regret.This will ensure lasting success! 

The Queen of Wands upright would have normally depicted that you are feeling quite motivated and balanced, carefully thinking out the little details to ensure that you will be setup for lasting success… but in this reversed position, this card denotes that you are growing quite impatient with this stagnant contemplative period that is displayed by your Hanged Man aspect. The Queen of Wands reversed warns that you should not try to manipulate your situation to make things happen faster for you. This could in turn backfire on your efforts of success, and leave you with your cup quite empty, maybe even emptier than when you started out on your venture. I see the 3 of cups as a payoff card. If you can keep your Queen of Wands Reversed in check, then your period as a Hanged Man will pay off in the end. 

The 3 of cups represents a very abundant time for you, and this will come forth through working via partnership, and not as a solo effort. So if you have been thinking of partnering up with someone to make that idea of yours happen… just know that you should keep forth on that path, and the doors will fly right open when the time is right, but don’t force it to happen unnaturally. Just go with the flow and things will happen as they need to.

Overall Message:
SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!

Hello Lovelies and Happy Monday!
The cards I pulled for today’s tarot spread show that today is a GREAT start to the week. The spread has a very STRONG and positive presence as I have pulled all major arcana cards in the upright position. The cards that I have pulled are The Sun, The Chariot, and The Fool.

I think the combination of these 3 cards gives me a very warm and encouraging energetic nudge from the Universe that we are on a spiritual quest and we’re sort of on the right track with our own paths to personal enlightenment.

The Sun represents our inner strength, our inner light… the cosmic force that keeps us enlightened and vibrant even through the toughest of times. The sun can also represent you coming into your own spirituality at this time. Right now you are awakened more than ever and that light inside of you is really becoming a guiding force for your seeking of guidance from a higher wisdom. You see that light now, and you know where you need to be.

The Chariot is a great follow up card to The Sun, because she is a very assertive figure who holds the reigns to her own destiny. She is the one who is going to follow that guiding light and see her spiritual path through to fruition. This card shows us that we need to be proactive and take the steps necessary to make any changes in our spiritual stagnancy.

The Fool denotes someone with a rather carefree disposition, with a sense of child-like wonder about them. Sometimes we don’t always have a tangible answer to the problems we want to solve, but rather have to act on faith alone. The Fool encourages us in this spread, that it might be a good time to take that leap of faith!

Have you been feeling lately that you need to immerse yourself in your own spirituality in order to reach personal enlightenment? Right now is a great time to do so! Spirit is calling you loud and clear! It’s time to answer the call!

Some things you can do at this time to raise your vibration and answer the call of your spirit guides are: take a class in a spiritual realm, work on opening your chakras through meditation or crystal healing, learn or tap into a form of divination, start a power thought or gratitude journal, start a soul-centered business, read about different religious paths and decide which one is right for you, go for walks in nature, nurture something (a plant or herb garden), help others. These are just some things you can do to awaken the spirit inside of you!
